Bought some Fram CH6013 oil filters for my ZN1300. The large o-ring for the cover that came with the filter is way to big. I checked all six filters and all are the same.
Anybody else use the Fram CH6013 filters and have this problem. What about other filters?
Oil filter o-rings don't fit.

Re: Oil filter o-rings don't fit.
I usually just try not to damage the old o ring and reuse it.
Otherwise just go to a hardware store and get one (or a bunch of them) .
If your in the middle of changing oil this works well because you can take the cover and the old ring with and make sure you get the correct one.

Re: Oil filter o-rings don't fit.
Thanks, Bill. That's what I was down to as options. On another 1300 site a guy said he did some cross-referencing between brands and the the Fram CH6014 filter is supposed to be the right one for our ZN1300's and have the right o-rings, so I might go check them out. Will check it out and report back if it is correct.
But, I still like your idea of picking up several at the local hardware store. Yes, I did reuse my old one, but it was pretty flat, so I am keeping a close watch for leakage.
My drain plug is completely rounded off now, too! Had to apply a 24" pipe wrench to break it free. Planning to weld a 1" X 1/4" X 2" bar across it to make it easier to grip with Channel-Loks and break free. Most used ones I see on eBay look to be well-rounded, too. Seems to be a chronic problem.
